NAME
Devel::FakeOSName - Make Perl think it runs on a different OS
SYNOPSIS
# build us Makefile for aix
perl -MDevel::FakeOSName=aix Makefile.PL
DESCRIPTION
Sometimes your code includes code specific to an OS that you don't have
an access to, but you want to see what happens if it was to run on that
other OS.
Currently mostly useful for looking at generated Makefiles. Needs much
more work to be really useful.
TODO
Currently the module just modifies $^O and $Config{osname}. Could
probably somehow supply overrides for other %Config::Config values and
ExtUtils::Embed.
Patches are welcome.
